Re: What's on your pre-travel checklist?

Wow - a great extensive list - I have also traveled quite a bit and I am also a snowbird. I have done just about all of the things you listed. I also plan menus for meals for the last few weeks that I'm home before leaving for the winter so that I'll use all of the food in the fridge/freezer before I leave. Several years ago, however, I forgot that I had potatoes and onions in a basket in my kitchen, and did not get rid of them before leaving for the winter. Needless to say, my home did not smell pleasant when I got home. I have never again forgotten to check that basket before leaving for an extended time.

Re: What's on your pre-travel checklist?

There's been lots of good ideas already. I keep a few lists on my computer. I have a different list for each; domestic air, international air, domestic drive, camping, and one for house shutdown. That way, some of the sorting is already done and I don't have to print as many pages to work from. I also have separated the lists into "pre-travel", "day before departure", and "day of departure".

Robert, It sounds like you have a magnificent travel checklist! Would you consider sharing so I don't have to start at Square 1? Many of us would be grateful! Or, you could email it to me at: cruise.crazy@gmail.com? Thank you.

Re: What's on your pre-travel checklist?

As well as all my cards, I take pics of all my OTC meds. If the container doesn't have a pic of the pill on it, I place a pill there. For prescriptions, I take along tags for each unless the container is tiny. We're told to take all pills in their containers--I'd have a lot less room for clothes if I did. I've not been checked on these, but all it would take would be once.
